  • The intersection of Covid lockdown policies and parent resources with children’s media exposure in Canada, the United States, Israel, Sweden, and New Zealand

    Douglas J Piper, Rebecca Cockroft et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Children and Media•2026

    Government responses to COVID-19 included workplace and childcare closures. Many parents worked from home while caring for preschool children. Media use increased worldwide for adults and young children. This study examined how government responses were linked to family media use by testing whether policy stringency predicted preschool children's screen time and parents' motivations for child media use. Data were analyzed from 2,365 parents of 2-…

  • Development and validation of the parental media motivations (Memo) scales for child and parent media use in the United States

    Bolim Suh, Rebecca Barr et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Children and Media•2026

    Parental motivations for their own and their child's media use may shape the quality of media experiences and ultimately child development and family well-being. However, validated scales are lacking. The current paper describes scale development and validation of the Media Motivations for Child (MEMO-C) and Parent (MEMO-P) in 501 parents with young children (2-5 years old). The MEMO-C measures motivations for children's media use, while the MEMO…

  • Temporal associations between parents’ daily reports of media motivations, infant affect, and parenting behavior

    Open Access•Heather Kirkorian, Rebecca Barr et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2026

    Past research links media use to infant negative affect, and parents report using media to cope. However, trait-level measures mask within-person effects that reflect regulatory and relational mechanisms more directly. In this study, 401 predominantly White (70.32%), college-educated (88.28%) parents (75.31% mothers) of 12- to 24-month-olds ( M age = 16.43, 51.37% boys) completed daily diaries reporting the frequency of parent and child behaviors…

  • Families’ experiences of housing and housing supports within the context of parental incarceration

    Open Access•Kerrie Fanning, Margaret L Kerr et al.•ARTICLE•Analyses of Social Issues and…•2025

    Rates of parental incarceration and family homelessness continue to rise in the United States, and many families experience both of these risks concurrently. Both parental incarceration and homelessness independently relate to negative outcomes for children and families, with numerous studies documenting families’ experiences of each risk independently. Despite families’ increased risk for experiencing co‐occurring parental incarceration and hous…

  • Parental burnout and mental health across Covid ‐19 parenting circumstances

    Open Access•Margaret L Kerr, Inés Botto et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Marriage and the Family•2025

    Objective This study adopted a person‐centered approach to exploring whether parental burnout, mental health, and their associations varied across different combinations of parenting circumstances (e.g., children's ages, employment, childcare). Background Parental burnout is linked to parents' mental health, but only weakly linked with demographic characteristics, such as age or number of children. However, most research has examined single chara…

  • Attachment Insecurity and Partner Reflective Functioning in the Context of Long‐Distance Interracial Romantic Relationships

    Open Access•Nicole M Froidevaux, Summer N Millwood et al.•ARTICLE•Personal Relationships•2025•Referências: 7

    Partner reflective functioning—the capacity to understand the behaviors of a romantic partner in the context of mental states—is an important interpersonal psychological process that is associated with positive relationship outcomes. Attachment insecurity, a widely known risk factor for relationship outcomes, may be relevant for understanding interracial romantic relationship partner reflective functioning. Working with a sample of adults in long…

  • Maternal Emotion Regulation and Parenting

    Open Access•Frances H Li, Nicole M Froidevaux et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychobiology•2025•Referências: 74

    The psychological capacity for emotion regulation (ER) facilitates sensitive caregiving and fosters positive child outcomes. Parasympathetic regulation, indexed by respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), is an important physiological component of ER. While growing evidence supports the link between parents’ physiological ER and parenting behaviors, few studies distinguish parents’ global ER capacity from ER in parenting‐specific contexts, which can p…

  • Adult attachment as a predictor of savoring quality in mothers of toddlers

    Open Access•Silvia Perzolli, Daniela Arcos et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2025•Citada por: 1•Referências: 71

    Parental attachment is a robust predictor of parents' emotion regulation and parent-child interaction quality. However, little is known about how attachment representations influence parents' ability to engage in savoring, the process of attending to and prolonging positive emotional experiences. This study examined the association between maternal attachment and two aspects of savoring quality in the context of a large randomized controlled tria…

  • Predicting fidelity and treatment outcomes in savoring interventions among mothers of young children

    Open Access•Jessica L Borelli, Silvia Perzolli et al.•ARTICLE•Infant Mental Health Journal•2024•Citada por: 1•Referências: 70

    Savoring impacts parents’ emotions and parent–child relationship quality. Using data from a randomized controlled trial ( N = 164 mothers of 18–27‐month‐olds, 37 interveners) conducted with a community sample in the United States, this study examined predictors of fidelity and treatment outcomes across two savoring preventative interventions (relational savoring and personal savoring). Treatment outcome indicators were selected from a battery adm…

  • Improving Communication Access for Children with Incarcerated Parents

    Open Access•Sarah Jensen, Kaitlyn Pritzl et al.•ARTICLE•Contexts•2023

    Sarah Jensen, Kaitlyn Pritzl, Pajarita Charles, Margaret Kerr, and Julie Poehlmann on maintaining kids’ carceral connections

  • Supported remote video visits for children with incarcerated parents in the United States

    Pajarita Charles, Julie Poehlmann et al.•ARTICLE•Current Issues in Criminal Justice•2023

    The Enhanced Visits Model (EVM) provides support to families in the United States, including technology to connect remotely with incarcerated parents, funding for video visits, and visit coaching for adults to support relationship building with children. Such support is intended to decrease barriers to traditional visits but not replace in-person visiting. The EVM is important for parents who are in local jails, rather than prisons, since jails t…

  • Savoring interventions for mothers of young children

    Open Access•Jessica L Borelli, Kelly F M Kazmierski et al.•ARTICLE•Infant Mental Health Journal•2023•Citada por: 4•Referências: 62

    Parenting interventions can improve parenting outcomes, with widespread implications for children's developmental trajectories. Relational savoring (RS) is a brief attachment‐based intervention with high potential for dissemination. Here we examine data from a recent intervention trial in order to isolate the mechanisms by which savoring predicts reflective functioning (RF) at treatment follow‐up through an examination of the content of savoring …

  • Relational savoring intervention

    Open Access•Jessica L Borelli, Margaret L Kerr et al.•ARTICLE•Emotion•2022

    Parenting young children poses numerous emotion regulation challenges, and prevention programs that promote emotion regulation skills can help with this important task of parenthood. Relational savoring (RS), which entails savoring a positive experience of interpersonal connectedness, is a brief manualized intervention program, 4 weeks in length, grounded in positive psychology and attachment theory. In the current longitudinal, randomized, contr…

  • Associations between mothers’ emotion regulation and real‐time experiences of negative emotion

    Parents’ emotion regulation and emotional experiences have important consequences for family well‐being and child outcomes. Little is known about whether traitlike emotion regulation abilities predict statelike experiences of real‐time negative emotion. Using ecological momentary assessment (EMA), this study examines associations between mothers’ self‐reported emotion regulation abilities and their real‐time experiences of negative emotion, as we…

  • Lessons From the Field

    Open Access•Pajarita Charles, Margaret L Kerr et al.•ARTICLE•Family Relations•2021

    Objective In this Lesson from the Field, we describe an intervention designed by our transdisciplinary team focusing on opportunities for enhanced parent–child visits when a parent is incarcerated in jail. We present implementation challenges and lessons learned from our pilot feasibility study.

  • Higher maternal reflective functioning is associated with toddlers’ adaptive emotion regulation

    Open Access•Jessica L Borelli, Jocelyn Lai et al.•ARTICLE•Infant Mental Health Journal•2021•Citada por: 3•Referências: 56

    Parental reflective functioning (RF), the ability to consider the child's behavior as a function of mental states (cognitions, emotions), is theorized to promote emotion regulation in children via its positive impact on parenting sensitivity. Using a sample of mothers and toddlers ( N = 151 dyads; 41% Latinx; 54% girls; M Age = 21 months; SD Age = 2.5 months), we measured mothers’ self‐reported RF (high RF = low certainty/high interest–curiosity/…

  • Exploring the complexity of mothers’ real-time emotions while caregiving

    Open Access•Margaret L Kerr, Hannah F Rasmussen et al.•ARTICLE•Emotion•2020

    Existing research suggests that parenthood is both emotionally rewarding and demanding, yet little work has examined multiple facets of parents' emotions. The current study examines the complexity of parents' emotions by examining the intensity, variability, and emodiversity of mothers' positive and negative emotions across caregiving and noncaregiving contexts. Data were collected from 136 mothers of young children using ecological momentary ass…

  • Adolescent friend similarity on alcohol abuse as a function of participation in romantic relationships

    Dawn Delay, Brett Laursen et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2016•Citada por: 3•Referências: 4

    This study tests the hypothesis that adolescents with romantic partners are less similar to their friends on rates of alcohol abuse than adolescents without romantic partners. Participants (662 girls, 574 boys) ranging in age from 12 to 19 years nominated friends and romantic partners, and completed a measure of alcohol abuse. In hierarchical linear models, friends with romantic partners were less similar on rates of alcohol abuse than friends wi…

  • Can parental monitoring and peer management reduce the selection or influence of delinquent peers? Testing the question using a dynamic social network approach

    Lauree Tilton‐weaver, William J Burk et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2013•Citada por: 25•Referências: 9

    We tested whether parents can reduce affiliation with delinquent peers through 3 forms of peer management: soliciting information, monitoring rules, and communicating disapproval of peers. We examined whether peer management interrupted 2 peer processes: selection and influence of delinquent peers. Adolescents' feelings of being overcontrolled by parents were examined as an additional moderator of delinquent selection and influence. Using network…

  • Alcohol Use and Friendship Dynamics

    William J Burk, Haske Van der Vorst et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Studies on Alcohol and…•2012

    OBJECTIVE: This study examined developmental trends of peer selection and socialization related to friends' alcohol use in early-, middle-, and late-adolescent peer networks, with the primary goal of identifying when these mechanisms emerge, when these mechanisms exert their strongest effects, and when (or if) they decrease in importance. Gender and reciprocity are also tested as moderators of selection and socialization. METHOD: Cross-sequential…

  • Perceived parenting style and adolescent adjustment

    Margaret L Kerr, Margaret Kerr et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2012•Citada por: 39•Referências: 6

    In the present research on parenting and adolescent behavior, there is much focus on reciprocal, bidirectional, and transactional processes, but parenting-style research still adheres to a unidirectional perspective in which parents affect youth behavior but are unaffected by it. In addition, many of the most cited parenting-style studies have used measures of parental behavioral control that are questionable because they include measures of pare…

  • A Reinterpretation of Parental Monitoring in Longitudinal Perspective

    Open Access•Margaret L Kerr, Margaret Kerr et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research on Adolescence•2010•Citada por: 120•Referências: 5

    A commonly used measure of parental monitoring is parents' knowledge of adolescents' daily activities. This measure has been criticized on the grounds that parents get more knowledge about teenagers' daily activities through willing youth disclosure than through their own active monitoring efforts, but this claim was based on cross-sectional data. In the present study, we reexamine this claim with longitudinal data over 2 years from 938 seventh a…

    The authors of this study tested a selection-influence-de-selection model of depression. This model explains friendship influence processes (i.e., friends' depressive symptoms increase adolescents' depressive symptoms) while controlling for two processes: friendship selection (i.e., selection of friends with similar levels of depressive symptoms) and friendship de-selection (i.e., de-selection of friends with dissimilar levels of depressive sympt…

  • Staying in or moving away from structured activities

    Andreas Persson, Margaret L Kerr et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2007•Citada por: 36•Referências: 2

    Adolescent participation in structured activities, meaning those with adult leaders, regular meetings, and skill-building activities, is related to good adjustment. Participation in unstructured, unsupervised, peer-oriented activities is related to poor adjustment. Structured activity participation is high in early adolescence and then declines, raising the question of why youths leave structured activities. The authors examined explanations invo…

  • Effect of temporal perspective on subjective confidence

    Thomas Gilovich, Margaret L Kerr et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•1993•Citada por: 31

    Four studies examined whether people tend to lose confidence in their prospects for success the closer they are to the "moment of truth." Study 1 found that students think they will do better on their midterm exams when asked on the 1st day of class than when asked on the day of the exam. Studies 2 and 4 replicated this finding under controlled conditions. Study 3 demonstrated that the same effect holds retrospectively: People are more confident …

  • Modeling homophily over time with an actor-partner interdependence model

    Danielle Popp, Brett Laursen et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2008•Citada por: 24•Referências: 9

    Selection and socialization have been implicated in friendship homophily, but the relative contributions of each are difficult to measure simultaneously because of the nonindependent nature of the data. To address this problem, the authors applied a multiple-groups longitudinal actor-partner interdependence model (D. A. Kashy & D. A. Kenny, 2000) for distinguishable dyads to 3 consecutive years of intoxication frequency data from a large communit…

  • Life course sequelae of childhood shyness in Sweden

    Using data from a Swedish longitudinal project, we predicted timing of marriage and parenthood and age-35 career success from mother-rated shyness in 8–10 year old children. Results are compared with those previously found for Americans. Like shy American boys, shy Swedish boys married and became fathers later than nonshy boys. Unlike American boys, Swedish boys' adult careers were not affected by shyness. Like shy American girls, shy Swedish gir…

How peers might socialize social anxiety over time has, however, not been thoroughly investigated. We examined this in a sample of 834 youths (339 girls and 495 boys; M=14.29), followed for 3 years. We used the social network analysis software SIENA to analyze the data. The results showed that…

    William J Burk, Haske Van der Vorst et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Studies on Alcohol and…•2012

    OBJECTIVE: This study examined developmental trends of peer selection and socialization related to friends' alcohol use in early-, middle-, and late-adolescent peer networks, with the primary goal of identifying when these mechanisms emerge, when these mechanisms exert their strongest effects, and when (or if) they decrease in importance. Gender and reciprocity are also tested as moderators of selection and socialization. METHOD: Cross-sequential…

  • Perceived parenting style and adolescent adjustment

    Margaret L Kerr, Margaret Kerr et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2012•Citada por: 39•Referências: 6

    In the present research on parenting and adolescent behavior, there is much focus on reciprocal, bidirectional, and transactional processes, but parenting-style research still adheres to a unidirectional perspective in which parents affect youth behavior but are unaffected by it. In addition, many of the most cited parenting-style studies have used measures of parental behavioral control that are questionable because they include measures of pare…

  • Can parental monitoring and peer management reduce the selection or influence of delinquent peers? Testing the question using a dynamic social network approach

    Lauree Tilton‐weaver, William J Burk et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2013•Citada por: 25•Referências: 9

    We tested whether parents can reduce affiliation with delinquent peers through 3 forms of peer management: soliciting information, monitoring rules, and communicating disapproval of peers. We examined whether peer management interrupted 2 peer processes: selection and influence of delinquent peers. Adolescents' feelings of being overcontrolled by parents were examined as an additional moderator of delinquent selection and influence. Using network…

  • Adolescent friend similarity on alcohol abuse as a function of participation in romantic relationships

    Dawn Delay, Brett Laursen et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2016•Citada por: 3•Referências: 4

    This study tests the hypothesis that adolescents with romantic partners are less similar to their friends on rates of alcohol abuse than adolescents without romantic partners. Participants (662 girls, 574 boys) ranging in age from 12 to 19 years nominated friends and romantic partners, and completed a measure of alcohol abuse. In hierarchical linear models, friends with romantic partners were less similar on rates of alcohol abuse than friends wi…

  • Exploring the complexity of mothers’ real-time emotions while caregiving

    Open Access•Margaret L Kerr, Hannah F Rasmussen et al.•ARTICLE•Emotion•2020

    Existing research suggests that parenthood is both emotionally rewarding and demanding, yet little work has examined multiple facets of parents' emotions. The current study examines the complexity of parents' emotions by examining the intensity, variability, and emodiversity of mothers' positive and negative emotions across caregiving and noncaregiving contexts. Data were collected from 136 mothers of young children using ecological momentary ass…
